Storage Stability of Jet Fuels.

Abstract

Storage stabilities of jet fuels derived from petroleum were determined using laser light scattering, sediment formation, and oxygen uptake measurements. Fuel degradation was monitored in the presence of the following added specific compounds: 2,5-dimethylpyrrole (DMP), N-methyl pyrrole (NMP), thiophenol, thiophene, decanethiol, dibutyl sulfide, dibutyl disulfide, tetrahydrothiphene, hexadienes, 1-hexene, indene, and dimethyl quinoline (DMQ) and mixtures of these at various temperatures. The light scattering results are correlated with extent of deposit formation, which is an accepted measure of stability, and with oxygen uptake results.
